Music and...
Finance!
Yazmin is a drum major in the Marching Salukis!
My dream job is to be a Chief Financial Officer.
Playing music keeps me connected to my passion. Music is an outlet for emotions and lets me express myself. I want to give lessons on my instrument to help others and possibly join community bands in order to continue playing.
I chose SIU because of the welcoming environment of the people when I first arrived on campus and the beauty of the campus itself.
My favorite aspects of SIU are all the resources available for me to use to my advantage so I can excel professionally.
I traveled to Ireland [with the SIU Wind Ensemble and Concert Choir], Mexico, and Connecticut this past summer and currently hold an internship at Travelers Insurance Company.
